Is there a platformer that you would consider superior to any Mario or Sonic game? Are you prepared to come forward and name it?

Well all platformers are different. No platformer tries to be sonic or mario and outdoes the real deal. But some collection/puzzle platformers are better at their niche. Wario lands DKC2 and Yoshis island come to mind. Some labyrinth style platformers like metroid or castlevania sotn are better in that way. Megaman is its own thing and its a better shooting platformer than mario or sonic. Whats prince of persia 1? Idk but its good at that. Dk jungle beat has the absolutely ridiculous control market locked down.

Once you go 3d it gets even harder. The tony hawk games are kind of platformers and theyre nothing like mario. Hard to even compare them really. That said there are hundreds of 3d platformers better than the 3d sonics.

Sonic games are about momentum and mario games are about precise platforming and powerups. I guess kid chameleon tries to be a really hard, complex mario and came out ok. But Id say they’re both the best at what they try to do.

>>	Anonymous Mon May 10 21:17:00 2021 No.7742194 >>7742124 You try to confuse. Listen all I'm saying is in Metroid if you fall off a high ledge or touch lava/spikes you should explode like Megaman.

>>	Anonymous Tue May 11 11:10:40 2021 No.7743925 >>7741884 Kid Chameleon is a better platformer than smw imo. As for sonic, i don't think there's a game that does its job better. You have tiny toons, speedy gonzalez... but they are worse at everything, especially physics.

>>	Anonymous Tue May 11 11:12:58 2021 No.7743934 >>7740123 For me it's all about tactile feel first, so Ninja Gaiden. Capcom-Disney games for the NES were very solid platform-wise also.
